Perennials or subshrubs, 15–30(–60) cm (not cespitose), aromatic (caudices woody). Stems 1–10, erect, gray-green, simple (suffrutescent from woody offsets), densely hairy to glabrescent. Leaves basal and cauline, mostly gray-green; blades obovate, 1.5–5 × 0.5–1.5 cm, 3-lobed to 2-ternately lobed (lobes 0.5–3 mm wide, margins flat; cauline leaves smaller, sometimes entire), faces tomentose. Heads (peduncles 0 or to 30 mm) in (leafy) paniculiform to racemiform arrays 12–25 × 1–4.5 cm. Involucres broadly campanulate, 3.5–5 × 6–9 mm. Phyllaries ovate (margins brownish or hyaline), tomentose. Florets: pistillate 8–10; bisexual 20–45; corollas yellow, 2–2.5 mm, glabrous or glandular. Cypselae ellipsoid (flattened), 1–1.5 mm, glabrous. 2n = 18.
Phenology: Flowering early–late summer.
Habitat: Well-drained soils, flood plains, gravel stream banks, roadsides, dry, rocky slopes, forest openings, alpine and arctic tundras
Elevation: 100–2500 m
